As much as I love watching Dan Rock cry, on behalf of Dan and all the bands on Lock and Key Collective, I'd like to give the Punknews editors a present:
24HourPriapism (October 13, 2009)
listening to this made me smile. that's a goddamn tough thing to do.
edzelinski (October 13, 2009)
i like pittsburgh. the old drummer for these dudes PJ (the bearded dude with no shirt on in most of their pictures) was in my band for a week. long distance drummer relationships don't work so well.
Hasheesh (October 13, 2009)
Both of my bands played with these dudes this year and goddamn it they are so fucking good. They're touring in a couple weeks, make sure to check them out if they're coming to your area (Lansing, MI on November 7, Mac's Bar!)
vocalyouth (October 13, 2009)
oh also, you're blowin' it if you don't give this record a shot.
acidpiss (October 14, 2009)
They had an amazing set at this year's Strength In Numbers fest here in Cleveland. Good dude, good tunes, good times.
saladxdays (October 14, 2009)
i think its kind of silly you would put a record on your site to stream for free and not even acknowledge the label that released it. |

Divorce rates these days are much higher than they used to be. Though some people are better off getting a divorce than trying to make their marriage work like they were required to in the old days, are their kids better off? According to our text, "studies show that the substantial majority of children survive their parents' divorce without long-term emotional damage. The apparent effects of divorce depend on the severity of conflict between parents before the divorce... Still, divorce can surely produce negative effects on some children" (Lilienfeld 391). As someone who has personally experienced divorce, I can say that I've had my fare share of emotional ups and downs, but all in all, I know that I can one day have a functional relationship even if my parents could not.
Like this boy on the right, the big problem that I've had with my parents' divorce is balancing my time that I spend with my mom and my dad. I was lucky enough not to be apart of a family whose parents absolutely hate each other, but I always worried about one getting jealous of me spending more time with the other so that was a huge stressor put on my shoulders. As I mentioned before, some say the severity of conflict between parents before the divorce can have an effect on the child's emotional "damage," and I'd have to agree with that. My parents fought a lot before they decided to separate, so in the end, the divorce was almost a relief to escape the fighting. Though it was a huge struggle for me at first getting used to my parents being separated, I whole-heartedly believe that some people are just not meant to be together, my parents included. Having that optimistic point of view has helped me cope with the fact that when I have kids, they will have to deal with divorced grandparents.

~ "Say nothing more. I'll think you less of a man." ~
Treeston and I were playing a few on EUNE and he instantly noticed how bad the normals were on EUNE and I was like, "Bro, blind pick normals are meh and who even cares about them". He was astounded to see that they didn't follow meta game in the blind pick normals. I just told him it didn't really matter. Still funny how an EUW player was that amazed about it.
You've probably never heard of him.
The fuck, what kind of normals do you people play in? I have seen my share of bad players and self-countering, but it's been several months since a team lacked a jungler or lanes got picked completely wrong.
They do. Just not at '800 normal elo'. Check some of the featured streamed games if you wish to be convinced any further.
Crazy good opponents, or just people that shut down your friends really well?
It's because your avatar is Rubick, they think you're a pro DotA player so you get good opponents! Just kidding lol
The latter tends to happen with my friends, they just lose to enemies who aren't even THAT good. (Like an enemy adc with 50 cs at 18 minutes and so on).
~ "Say nothing more. I'll think you less of a man." ~
It's mostly the latter. Most people with less experience don't know how to play defensively, they end up feeding them and the only way to win is to stall it until we can catch up and beat them.
i love taric, no homo
Taric you say? You and me might be soul mates.
It's easy to just check the profile of people you play against to find a rough estimate of your Normal ELO (Try to do it over a period of time though so you get actual samples). I tend to usually (There are always exceptions, though, matchmaking isn't perfect and consistent) play against people in 1600-1800 in Normals, and when I duo que with friend (80% of the time I play) it goes from 1700-2000ish due to ELO inflating a bit when you duo.

At Century Plaza on a recent afternoon, Stephanie Lemon-Suggs, a mother of three who lives in north Minneapolis, said she is eager for a new hub that doesn't involve logistical problems and cost. Coming downtown is difficult for her partner, and their car needs repairs. And the next nearest hub "is all the way up in Brooklyn Center, so I've got to hop from bus to bus to bus," she said.
In addition, parking near the plaza can be a headache — and expensive, a hurdle for those already struggling with financial problems.
North Side developer the Ackerberg Group was on board with the earlier site, and with this one. Ackerberg is expected to redevelop the building and lease it to the county.
When the last site fell through, Stuart Ackerberg said he wouldn't fight neighborhood opposition. "It's got to be a win-win," he said at the time.
Hennepin County Commissioner Linda Higgins represents the area. "That's a building that's been vacant a long time," she said. The site is amid other industrial buildings, offices and near housing, but not in an area designed for commercial pedestrian traffic.
Sabre and Higgins, however, noted that there are good bus connections to the site. "If we can have something that's more easily accessible, the people will appreciate it," she said.
Barring another rejection, the goal is to begin work on the building this fall. "We're hopeful," Sabre said.
So far, it's been smooth, or as Higgins said, "I haven't had people yelling at me."

enclosing garage, non-load bearing stucco wall - do I need to cut slab & dig footing?
I am enclosing a carport with a 4" existing slab -- the new walls will be stucco so they will have some weight but they will not be supporting the roof, so, my question is:
can I clean the concrete, slop on some adhesive, and pour a stem wall on top of the existing slab and frame up from there (which would be my easy road...) Or, do I need to cut the existing slab, dig out a footing, and pour a stem wall around the old slab? Please no guesses, I already guessed enough of my own... will the 'pour over the old slab' method be enough to handle the weight of the new wall and keep rain from seeping through?

enclosing garage, non-load bearing stucco wall - do I need to cut slab & dig footing?
What do you mean no guesses? No one here has seen your property, you include no photos, you include no description of the soil beneath your carport, you include no information regarding your location, so we don't know the loads your structure is subjected to, and you include no information about code requirements in your area, if there are any, and whether you plan to comply with code and pull a permit. Yet you don't want guesses? Do you think the folks on this site have a direct conduit to God, and via revealed truth can possibly know anything more about your project than you tell us? Anyone who responds to your post by definition is guessing, short of requesting a list of additional information that would be essential to offering an informed opinion.

enclosing garage, non-load bearing stucco wall - do I need to cut slab & dig footing?
sorry, guess the 'no guesses' offended... what i mean is, based on the fact that the 4" foundation is only supporting a stucco wall, no roof since it is already standing as a carport, will a footing on top of that slab -- if joined with the appropriate concrete adhesive -- prevent water pentration and support the wall? it already can support a vehicle, good means of comparison for the wall... the soil is compact and there is no freezing here. all the other variables are listed -- 4" slab, stucco wall... not sure about the size of the stem wall, 6" wide and 6"tall? suggestions?... already have the permit and it doesn't call for any footing, just loooking to keep it from being a problem in the future. what i was trying to avoid by saying 'no guessing' is having people who have no expertise in this field just throwing out an arbitrary 'that should work' response followed by soneone elses 'I wouldn't do it like that'... I have never tried to seal a concrete union with adhesive and see if it still gets seepage through it... hoping to have found someone who has... again, thanks for any input.

Eric, my guess is that the slab is a monolithic slab meaning a thick edge slab. The wall will not put enough weight on the concrete to cause any concern, like you said, you park your car on it. Most carport slabs are poured with higher strength concrete than the house slab also.
To seal the water out be sure to allow the siding to overlap the concrete slab, but not to the point it touches the ground. The siding needs to stay off the ground as it will wick moisture upward from the ground. Most carport slabs are sloped to allow water to run off so you may want to check that out and allow for the fall when planning for the floor. In saying all this, the inspector may have other ideas, as building codes are different in different areas of the country. In the areas I have built over the years this would be OK and pass inspection but trying to second guess a building inspector is anyone's guess. Jim |

Here's a recent success story that will help you stop sending cover letters, and start sending sales letters that get job interviews.
As a rule, I hate reading cover letters. Nearly all are what I call, 3B: bland, boring and banal.
In fact, most cover letters are such formulaic exercises in boredom that I suggest you stop sending them altogether.
That's right. Don't send a cover letter. Send a sales letter instead.
After all, your goal in writing to employers is to "sell" them on hiring you, right?
With that in mind, here's a recent success story that will help you stop sending cover letters, and start sending sales letters that get job interviews.
Paul D. from White Bear Lake, MN writes: "I met you at the Star Tribune job expo and I wanted to comment on your tip to write a sales letter rather than a cover letter. I took your advice and, after sending the new cover letter to apply for two jobs online, I had one call the same day for an interview! The other call came the day after."
So, Paul batted 1.000 with the two cover letters he sent out. Better yet, he e-mailed me his cover letter, which offers three lessons that can get you hired ...
1) Get Attention by Asking a Question
You must get employers' attention at the start of your letter and compel them to read. Otherwise, your letter won't have any effect. Because bored readers will skim over the document, then rush off to your résumé.
An easy way to get attention is to ask a question. Why? Questions are hard to ignore -- they engage and involve readers.
This is what I suggested at the job search expo Paul attended. He took my advice and wrote a new cover letter that began like this:
Dear Mr. Peterson:
Are you looking for a professional marketing person who has demonstrated analytical and problem-solving ability, practical project management skills and excellent written and verbal communication skills?
Paul's question gets attention and causes the reader to answer, Yes. And if you can get employers to nod in agreement while reading your "sales letter," you've taken a giant leap toward getting hired.
2) Emphasize Specific Results
Which of the following statements is more interesting?
A) I'm a hard worker, honest and reliable, with excellent attention to detail.
B) I saved my last employer more than $1,000.

K2 www vs Rome artifact
I know I already have a pretty nice stick already but hey I just sold my old sierra crew so time for a new board!
Im learning butters presses n stuff and feel like I can use something softer than the ET Im riding. So some local guy is selling a mint 2010 K2 WWW 145cm for 180, and I found a brand new 2011 Rome artifact 150 being sold online for 199. From what I know these two sticks are pretty similar. Only concern is that the K2 could be a tad short. But isnt that what you want in a jib board? What do you guys think? BTW Im 135lb riding a 151 ET which feels like the right size. |

im 155 and i ride a 151 so i think a 145 might be a tad too short. i was told by several board shops and i checked a bunch of the size charts and they all say i should be riding something in the 154 range. 151 feels right for me though. i just bought a horrscope fk and it was between that, the artifact and the www. i didnt get the artifaact because of this vid which made it look like a freakin rubber band. im sure its good but it looked a little too soft to me.
2012 Rome artifact rocker flex test - YouTube from what i was told a shorter board will go slower and a ridiculously soft board like the artifact or www will wobble at high speeds. from what im reading those 2 boards are among the softest on the market.

I have ridden both and I am about the same weight as you and have a Rome Artifact Rocker 152 so take it from someone who has ridden in. If you want a jib board that will SLAY butters presses and Rail get the artifact rocker. I have tried my friends WWW and it just did not do it for me. Its soft but its just no fun to ride. I would say DEFINITELY go with the Artifact Rocker especially with a price you cant beat.

Re: Help me find my next boat 24-29 foot
A Cal 27 (2-27 or 3-27, not the pop-top 27), Ericson 27, or an Islander 28 would all be good candidates. There are lots of boats around that size for less than $10k. Although, finding one in good shape with a diesel for less than $10k might not be easy.
Never forget them. Do something to prevent it from happening again.

September 27th, 2011, 23:51 Posted By: wraggster For those of you that have a wireless keyboard laying around, you might be tempted to turn it into something else, like a wireless MAME controller. For those not familiar with it, MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator and is generally used to run older arcade games on a computer. Encoders are available for this purpose, however, intending to save some money, and having an unused wireless keyboard, I decided to try to make one myself. As far as I know there are no wireless encoders available for this purpose, so that was part of the motivation for trying this. In this post I go over my mechanical design for the cabinet as well as the electrical process of going from keyboard to MAME controller. I did eventually get the thing working, but if more than a couple buttons were pressed simultaneously, some presses were omitted. The conclusion I eventually came to was that it was better to use an encoder to control everything. Not wireless, but much more reliable. If I absolutely needed a wireless controller in the future, I would think modding an actual wireless controller (or two) in a similar manner would have worked better for my purposes. http://hackaday.com/2011/09/27/turn-...me-controller/

Villa v Man Utd training pictures: Players gear up for United clash
Excitement was building among the squad in the build-up to the blockbuster evening encounter with Sir Alex Ferguson's men. Club photographer Neville Williams was on the scene to snap the players in training. Check out the image gallery of training ahead of the Red Devils game. The players were in good spirits as they went through their final preparations for the match. The boys in claret and blue are looking to end a 17-year home top-flight hoodoo against Man United. The last time Villa earned a Barclays Premier League victory over the Red Devils at Villa Park was on the opening day of the 1995-96 season. However, Gabby Agbonlahor did inspire a Villa success at Old Trafford in December 2009. Darren Bent, Richard Dunne and Joe Bennett are all doubtful for the United clash but Karim El Ahmadi is back from suspension. Eric Lichaj [suspended], Charles N'Zogbia [knee] and Nathan Baker [ankle] are also ruled out. Check out the image gallery of training ahead of the Red Devils game. Keywords

EcommerceBytes-Update, Number 194 - July 01, 2007 - ISSN 1528-6703 6 of 7
Three decades after her death in 1976, Dame Agatha Christie remains one of the best-selling fiction writers of all time. It is estimated that, beginning with the publication in 1920 of her first mystery novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, over 2 billion copies of her books, printed in dozens of languages, have been sold around the globe.
It is an indication of her continuing popularity that, on those relatively rare occasions when any hardcover edition of one of her books appears at a yard or estate sale, it is immediately snapped up to take its place in a personal collection, or to be added to a book dealer's stock.
Of course, most second-hand Christie mysteries are generally worth no more than a few dollars each: the real values are in the stories. But recognizing a collectible Christie can be quite profitable. (Some copies are presently commanding prices up to $8,000+ at rare-book auctions and at online marketplaces, but as with any collectible, these prices can and do fluctuate.)
First printings of first editions are always in demand, especially of the earlier works as they had limited press runs. In the case of the aforementioned The Mysterious Affair at Styles, it is believed that just some 2000 copies sold, while Curtain, published in 1975, had an initial printing of 100,000. (See http://www3.isrl.uiuc.edu/~unsworth/courses/bestsellers/search.cgi?title=Curtain.)
Condition, as with all books, has a major effect on value. No one is willing to spend good money on a book that is soiled, torn, musty, scribbled upon, or falling apart. Most collectors are seeking books in at least very good or better condition.
Dust jackets ("dust wrappers" in England) are a BIG plus. A copy with its jacket can easily fetch 2 to 10 times the value of the same copy without its "wrapper." Jackets are often graded separately, and there is a market for original jackets alone!
Finally, don't exclude paperbacks from the market for collectible Christie books. Some first editions of PAN, Penguin, and Pocket Books sell for some quite respectable sums ($50+) depending on condition. (Paperbacks, with their highly acidic paper and glued bindings have the deplorable tendency to yellow, crumble, and shed pages.)

[Announcement and Voting] June plays of the month - Focus on Tragedy (self.Playclub)
submitted 2 years ago * by MacBeth_in_Yellow
After some deliberation among us moderators, we've tossed around some thoughts that could possibly move us toward a more active subreddit. Things are still in the process of change, but now is a good time for experimentation. So here's the plan for June:
The first play of the month: Death of a Salesman, by Arthur Miller.
The idea for this move is to consider a broad, but connected, focus for discussion. Miller's play is a modern tragedy, and this ties fairly well into a previous play of the month, [The Women of Lockerbie, by Deborah Brevoort].
Additionally, the second play of the month will be a Greek tragedy, and we've narrowed it down to two choices: Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, or Medea, by Euripides. I'll set up voting posts in the comments. If we don't get a majority vote, we'll default to Oedipus Rex and take it from there. Voting will end in one week (Friday, June 8th).
In the mean time, I'd suggest we attempt to gather posts and discussions regarding two major ideas: one, how to read a play, and two, Greek tragedy. We'll make this the overall theme of June, and attempt to draw comparisons between the two plays of the month and other previous plays that have been discussed.
Oh, and one other thing: If you feel there's a better choice for Greek tragedy to discuss, especially when considering that we'll be comparing it to Death of a Salesman, please feel free to submit ideas below.
EDIT: The availability of Death of a Salesman is rather large. Amazon has a number of copies available,, including an acting edition from DPS and an ebook edition for Kindle. I'd be willing to bet that many public libraries also carry this script, if only because if its popularity. If you have any trouble acquiring this play, please message me and let me know.
[–]MacBeth_in_Yellow[S] 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (0 children)
First option: Oedipus Rex, aka Oedipus the King, aka Oedipus Tyrannos, by Sophocles. This is, perhaps, one of the best known of the plays of Ancient Greece, and should be a part of any study of theatre history.
I will probably be reading the F. Storr translation (1912) available at the University of Adelaide website: http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/s/sophocles/s5o/
This same translation can also be found at Project Gutenberg, along with another translation by Gilbert Murray (1911).
Google Books also offers a wide range of translations, many of which are free to download.
[–]MacBeth_in_Yellow[S] 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Second option: Medea), by Euripides. This is another commonly known play within most theatre circles, and would likely be a part of any program of theatre study.
The E.P. Coleridge translation of this work is available at the University of Adelaide website, and this is likely going to be the translation I would personally read.
The Gilbert Murray translation is available at Project Gutenberg.
And, of course, Google Books has a few translations available, many of them free.

In an earlier column, I urged travelers to check out the many deals available for public transit in the most popular U.S. destination cities. My suggestions apply equally to major foreign cities: As a longtime traveler, I've not had any trouble using subways in every big city I've ever visited.
Some travelers tell me they're reluctant to use public transit in a foreign city because they're afraid they'll get lost trying to navigate the city when they can't read the signs at the stations. Not to worry—in every place I've been where Latin script isn't used, I've found signage in "globish," the de facto international-language version of English. In fact, the Beijing and Dubai transit systems I used recently made recorded station announcements in the local language and English—a feat many U.S. transit systems haven't yet mastered. And you can easily find Latin-script versions of system maps and riding information. As in the United States, many foreign systems offer special deals useful to—and sometimes aimed at—international visitors. You can buy all the passes I cite online or after you arrive.
Calling Canada "foreign" is a bit of a stretch, as least where language is concerned, but its cities are extremely popular destinations for U.S. travelers.
Montreal. Metro, bus: Base fare $3 CAD; seniors $2 CAD. Day card: $9 CAD; no senior discount.
Toronto. Subway, light rail, and bus: Base fare $3 CAD; seniors $2 CAD. Day pass: $10.75 CAD; no senior discount.
Vancouver. SkyTrain, bus: Base fare $2.75 CAD Zone 1; $4 CAD Zone 2; $5.50 CAD Zone 3; $2.75 CAD all zones evenings/weekends. Seniors 65 and over: $1.75 CAD to $3.75 CAD. (The airport is in Zone 2.) Day pass: $9.75 CAD; seniors $7.50 CAD.
Beyond Canada, here are details for a few of the most popular overseas destinations:
Berlin. S-Bahn, U-Bahn (base fares based on distance): Central zone €2.40 (about $3 USD); larger zone €3.10; no senior discount. Berlin Welcome Card: Central zone, 48 hours €18.5; 72 hours €24.50; five days €31.50; larger area, including Potsdam and airport, up to €36.50.
Hong Kong. Metro (base fares vary by distance): Typical central tourist areas $4.50 HKD (about $0.60 USD) to $6 HKD, or slightly less with stored value "Octopus" card; seniors $2 HKD only on Octopus card. (Octopus card is a good deal for anyone.) Airport-line fares: $90–$100 HKD. Tourist day pass: $55 HKD. (Tourist day pass does not include airport and is not a good deal unless you ride a lot.)
London. Underground (base fare depends on distance): Zone 1 £4.50; £2 with Oyster card. Bus: Only £1.40. London has a bunch of pass options, but the bottom line is for one day, get a Travelcard (£8 to £11 for most places you'll go); for a week get an Oyster stored-value card that automatically figures out the best pricing for your travels, whether a pass or a single ride. You pay a one-time fee of £3 and refill the value online or by automatic credit-card charge.
Paris. Metro, RER, buses: Base fare €12.70 for a carnet of 10 tickets; no senior discount. Passes: Central zone, one day €10.55; two days €17,15; three days €23.40 (does not include airports).
Rome. Subway, bus: Base fare €1.50; no senior discount. Passes: Central zone, one day €6; three days €16.50; seven days €24. Regional passes, including suburban rail and three-day passes, run from €8.90 to €39.20, depending on distance.
Tokyo. Subway (fares based on distance): ¥160 (about $1.70 USD) to ¥300; no senior discount. Subway: day pass ¥710; add suburban rail within metro area ¥1589; for foreign visitors ¥600. If you buy at Narita or Haneda airports: Two-day consecutive pass ¥980. Skyliner day pass: One way from Narita to Tokyo plus one-day metro pass ¥2600 (regular Skyliner alone is ¥2400); add two-day metro pass ¥2980.

Chesapeake Bay Long-term water quality problems in the Chesapeake Bay have led to considerable efforts to prevent added pollution and to restore riparian and aquatic ecosystems within the watershed. Discouraging results from a 1999 EPA report revealed that 36% of surveyed rivers within the watershed did not meet EPA standards of water quality. Scientists attributed most of the pollution to agricultural non-point sources. In 1994, policy makers and scientists developed a set of goals to target water quality enhancement. The consensus was that there was a need for an intensive ecological restoration effort and enhanced stewardship of riparian forest buffers. The goals included the promise of providing all streams and shorelines within the watershed the protection of a forested or other riparian buffer, the conservation of existing forests along all streams and shorelines, and the restoration of riparian forests on 2,010 miles of stream shoreline by 2010. These efforts will target areas of the greatest value to water quality and living resources. Maryland will spend approximately $200 million over 15 years on this project and Pennsylvania, Washington, DC, and Virginia have implemented similar plans. Sources: Chesapeake Bay Program. 1999.

Florida Everglades The Kissimmee River is essential in maintaining water quantity and quality in South Florida. "The Kissimmee River and its adjacent areas divert water south into Lake Okeechobee and surrounding wetlands, and thereby, help regenerate ground aquifers. Beginning in 1961 and ending in 1971, the 166 km long river was channelized 9 m deep into a basically straight 90 km long 100 m wide canal. Early Kissimmee River projects were intended to manage floods and direct flows. However, transformation of the river floodplain ecosystem into a series of deep impounded reservoirs drained approximately 12,000 to 14,000 ha* of floodplain wetlands which degraded fish and wildlife values within the Kissimmee ecosystem. In 1976, the Florida Legislation passed the Kissimmee River Restoration Act, which sparked three major restoration and planning studies initiated by the Corps of Engineers and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The $32 million conversion project was under scrutiny ever since vertebrate and flora populations began dwindling. Today, plans to restore the Kissimmee River will cost eight times that of initial conversion and will take over 15 years to complete and these efforts are intended to mend the river back to its original state."

Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary "The City of Arcata is located 250 miles north of San Francisco on the northeastern shore of Humboldt Bay. A regional wastewater treatment plant was proposed by the Humboldt Bay Wastewater Authority in 1975 that was estimated to cost $25 million. Since the area was no longer allowed to release effluent into the bay, the plan of action was to create a pipeline that ran across the Humboldt Bay, dumping the regional communities' sewage directly into the ocean. Arcata didn't agree with this solution. A Task Force on Wastewater Treatment came together to demonstrate that the natural processes of a wetland wastewater treatment facility would offer an appropriate solution to its unsatisfactory polluting procedures. Arcata constructed the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary in 1981 and incorporated wastewater treatment in 1986. The Task Force's plan of action had many benefits. It was cost-effective, simple, and most importantly to the community, it was appropriate." Excerpted from: Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary, www.humboldt.edu/~ere_dept/marsh/index.htm |
Santa Cruz Clean Streams Pilot Project "This project seeks to use community outreach to train volunteers to assist in the monitoring of the Arana Gulch Watershed in Santa Cruz, CA. Project specialists train and utilize volunteers to participate in monitoring the health of the Arana Gulch Watershed through water quality sampling, habitat assessment and participation in restoration activities. Other projects include wetland-marsh restoration and monitoring using community volunteers." Excerpted from: U.C Davis: endeavor.des.ucdavis.edu/wpi/countyquery.asp?cid=00000i South Carolina Congaree Bottomland Hardwood Swamp On June 30, 1983 Congaree Swamp National Monument was designated an International Biosphere Reserve as it is the largest old-growth flood plain in the continental United States. An estimate cited in a 1995 EPA fact sheet, attributed a value of approximately $5 million for water purification services provided by the swamp in 1991. The surrounding communities value the swamp for the tourism, recreation, and clean water it provides to their economy and daily lives.

Chesapeake Bay Local Watershed Action Volunteer Projects This program is part of the Chesapeake Bay Program's Forest Buffer Initiative. Recognizing that the majority of rivers and streams within the basin are spread amongst thousands of individual landowners and private communities, this effort strongly promotes voluntary incentives towards restoration efforts and the raising of public awareness. Local plans identify participants, target problems and solutions, and solidify commitments from landowners. Successful volunteer projects have already shown that many small efforts can add up to big improvement in stream and watershed health. Source: Chesapeake Bay Program. 1999.

Description | Influenced by the realism of Caravaggio, Gentileschi has treated the subject as if the Holy Family were ordinary Italian peasants. Joseph is old, haggard and exhausted. The Virgin is a young, well-built woman with grubby feet sitting uncomfortably on the floor of a ruined building as she feeds her toddler child. Jesus appears naked and vulnerable glancing apprehensively towards the viewer and we are reminded that this family are refugees escaping from Herod's death-threat. This is one of four versions painted by Gentileschi and is considered to be the earliest, made before the artist left Rome in 1621. In 1926 he settled in England and became Court Painter to Charles I. |

Microsoft's cloud is growing rapidly. The company's cloud (including PaaS, IaaS, and hybrid cloud) grew 154% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and propelled the software giant to the second position in terms of market share behind Amazon's AWS.
Microsoft's cloud grew by triple digits last year, finishing with 103% year-over-year growth compared to the previous year. Plus, Microsoft Azure and related cloud software sales brought in more than $1 billion in annual revenue for the company last year. At current growth rates, that figure will more than double by end of June when the company's fiscal year comes to a close.
So, what is fueling this robust growth that has turned Microsoft into a serious AWS contender? Just a few years ago, AWS was completely overrunning Microsoft Azure and its peers, and it appeared as if no company could realistically hope to challenge its overwhelming dominance in the public cloud.
New cloud strategy
Microsoft's first cloud strategy under CEO Steve Ballmer was to take AWS head-on by offering IaaS, or Infrastructure-as-a-Service, which is AWS's main forte. IaaS lets companies shift their applications to the cloud by renting servers and storage. AWS is the overwhelming IaaS leader with a 33% share of the market. Microsoft can only lay claim to a paltry 3% slice of this market, while Google has a comparable share.
Amazon literally bulldozed upcoming competitors like Microsoft and Google by using its far superior product offerings and extensive networks. As a result, both failed to gain any meaningful traction. The cloud space operates very much like the mobile space, where companies with the largest infrastructure networks, and the most applications installed on customers' operating systems, routinely call the shots.
Microsoft's second strategy under Satya Nadella, who was then chief of Microsoft's Cloud and Enterprise Group, was to try its luck in the PaaS, or Platform-as-a-Service, market, which was much more fragmented and Amazon was not so dominant.
Currently, Amazon commands a 17% share of the PaaS market, closely followed by Microsoft and Google with 14% and 13% share, respectively. PaaS is growing rapidly and creating about $100 million in new revenue every quarter for companies with more than 10% market share. But, Nadella's biggest win was offering hybrid cloud for enterprises.
The hybrid cloud
Barely two or three years ago, many enterprises were reluctant to move their key data to the public cloud due to security, privacy, and compliance issues. They instead preferred deploying private clouds, usually through OpenStack. But, OpenStack suffers from a big drawback -- it does not run well out of the box, and requires a lot of time and money to get the cloud running and in usable form.
Microsoft quickly saw an opportunity here and started offering hybrid cloud solutions for enterprise customers. Hybrid clouds are a combination of private and public clouds. The hybrid cloud strategy involves moving certain workloads that are not security-sensitive to the public cloud, while retaining sensitive data in private clouds. Hybrid clouds have become so prevalent today that they are almost considered a standard way of operating in the cloud by most organizations.
Microsoft offers several solutions, and the company recently made a number of new hybrid cloud offerings. But, perhaps the best is Express Route, which is the company's answer to AWS's Direct Connect. Express Route provides customers with a fast and secure connection between on-premises and Azure public IaaS resources. Microsoft will offer extensive support services for the new platform, including disaster recovery, previewed Azure Files to improve sharing between different clouds, and improved networking and computing functionality.
Microsoft also announced a new partnership with Apprenda, a private PaaS solutions provider. Apprenda already boasts big customers such as JP Morgan Chase. The partnership allows customers to leverage Apprenda's private PaaS for private workloads, while deploying Microsoft's IaaS for public workloads. Customers who already use Apprenda will get the same amount of Azure resources at no extra cost. Microsoft is also leveraging extra services such as Active Directory, System Center, and Visual Studio to allow Apprenda users to access Microsoft tools with which they are already familiar.
Microsoft is showing a willingness to maintain a vendor-agnostic position by allowing other clouds to connect to Azure services. This makes the concept of building hybrid clouds a more straightforward process. The crossover cloud strategy that incorporates infrastructure, application, and platform services will greatly help Microsoft become the market leader in adapting to the new cloud, mobile and social media enterprise infrastructure model, and make it easier for companies to shift their core ERPs to the cloud.
Microsoft's hybrid cloud strategy is paying off handsomely, as shown by its strong cloud growth. This strategy gives the company a clear differentiator from AWS and might become its strongest selling point as the cloud wars escalate.
Bigger than the cloud, are you ready to profit from this $14.4 trillion revolution?
Let's face it, every investor wants to get in on revolutionary ideas before they hit it big. Like buying PC-maker Dell in the late 1980s, before the consumer computing boom. Or purchasing stock in e-commerce pioneer Amazon.com in the late 1990s, when it was nothing more than an upstart online bookstore. The problem is, most investors don't understand the key to investing in hyper-growth markets. The real trick is to find a small-cap "pure-play" and then watch as it grows in EXPLOSIVE lockstep with its industry. Our expert team of equity analysts has identified one stock that's poised to produce rocket-ship returns with the next $14.4 TRILLION industry.

Welcome to my personal Web site.
I suppose something about me would be in order, given that this site bears my name. I was born in Scotland where my parents went to the University of St. Andrews. I was educated in England until I was about six (they start much earlier than the States so this meant a couple of years of school) and then in Canada. Where I learned to ice skate (not terribly well) and shoot (very well) and where I joined the Boy Scouts. I gained a love of the outdoors in Canada and became a Canadian citizen. My father worked as a managing engineer on a number of oil-related projects in the Canadian Artic and we moved with him to Alaska when he worked on the Trans-Alaskan oil pipeline (one of the world's great engineering feats) in the early 1970s. I continued with the Boy Scouts, learning arctic survival skills and adding cross-country skiing to my downhill skiing skills. Vacations with my parents took me back to Jamaica, where I had lived for a little while and where my sister was born. My father's side of the family has been in Jamaica for hundreds of years, and my mother's side is in Poland for even longer. She was born in Poland and survived both the Nazi occupation and the early years of the Russian occupation to escape to Ireland. They met and married at university in Scotland. I went to high school for a couple of years in Alaska, and then we moved down to Bellevue, Washington when most of the work on the pipeline was complete. Finishing high school in Bellevue, I earned entrance to a couple of technical schools (Rice, CalTech) and a little liberal arts school called Reed College in Portland, Oregon. After visiting Reed, I fell in love with the life of the mind evidenced there and it was really no choice as to where I would go to university. After my first two years I took a leave of absence and went to work for a small startup. I was trying to decide which direction to go with my academic career and when I returned to Reed after a gap of three semesters, I changed majors from physics to history. I graduated from Reed with a degree in history. Eventually I moved south to California for the dual reasons of work choice and sunlight and spent most of the last fifteen years in Silicon Valley for firms like Sun, Silicon Graphics, and Apple. I've worked both full-time and as a freelancer and see much to recommend both. I founded and ran my own firm from 1993 to 2000 and then spent a stint consulting in the Valley. After taking a sabbatical year living in France I came back and took to Seattle and spent a year consulting at Microsoft. I liked France and Europe so much that I'm planning on buying a place in Paris eventually. Along the way, I've spent time skydiving, roadracing grand prix motorcycles, rockclimbing, and scuba diving (which I still love to do). My latest passion is golf, and trying to break 90. Next on my horizon is learning how to sail and how to fly. I'm now a Solutions Delivery Manager at Microsoft, managing a very large scale infrastructure project. |

Alijarah Holding (previously, National Leasing Company) is all geared up to fully acquire Al Nasr Modern Driving School and Petro Qatar for Industrial Projects.
"Alijarah Holding will acquire both Al Nasr Modern Driving School and Petro Qatar for Industrial Projects 100%, in accordance with the strategies adopted by the group to expand the business and develop its resources," its vice chairman Salem bin Butti al-Nuaimi said at an extra-ordinary general assembly where shareholders approved the acquisition plan.
However, al-Nuaimi didn't give the financial details of the acquisitions and how it would be funded by Alijarah.
Alijarah Holding owns Alijarah Limousine, the company which operates taxi services by providing 500 vehicles to meet the market demand.
Due to the constant growth of business in Qatar and the evident boom in the different areas of the economy, Alijarah opted for acquiring Petro Qatar, which won the tender from Mowasalat "Karwa" to run 500 taxis.
"This deal will contribute significantly to the development of the group's potential and will expand their business by increasing the number of vehicles operating in the taxi service in line with the increase in population," he said.
The acquisition of Al Nasr Modern Driving School enriches Alijarah's aspirations in developing the capacity of drivers and giving greater opportunities for training on scientific and sophisticated basis, especially in light of the increasing number of applicants for driver's licences who wish to receive quality training, according to him.
"Alijarah Holding will work on developing the school to raise the efficiency of trainees and providing them with modern technology," al-Nuaimi said.
The general assembly empowered the board to implement the decisions, complete the acquisitions and finalise all procedures with the competent authorities in the country.
Forum focuses on steps needed for Qatar to become research hub
Shell was a "premier partner" of the two-day Doha Energy Forum hosted by Texas A&M University at Qatar.
The event allowed industry experts and global thought leaders to debate the game changers in the energy industry and the steps needed for Qatar to become a global research and development hub.
"Shell is honoured to partner with the Gulf Intelligence Energy Forum. The dialogue allowed us to hear firsthand the views of HE Dr Mohamed bin Saleh al-Sada, Minister of Energy and Industry along with other industry thought leaders', said Wael Sawan, managing director and chairman of Qatar Shell. "Forums like this are immensely important for knowledge exchange and networking," he said.
Qatar Shell's senior leadership contributed to various sessions at the forum.
On day one, Youssif Saleh, general manager of Qatar Shell's Research & Technology Centre, gave a speech on 'Maximising Production and Knowledge Transfer in 21st Century Partnership'.
He highlighted some examples of this in Qatar. "Together with our partners, Qatar Petroleum, and more recently, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, we have been working on unlocking human potential in Qatar by transferring project management knowledge to the region in the form of Tafawoq, a top institute for competency development in project management in Qatar supported by the Shell Project Academy."
Tafawoq's long-term objective, underpinning the Qatar National Vision 2030, aims to be the sustainable operational vehicle that matures the profession of project management in Qatar. Last year, some 95 students graduated through the programme. The second day focused on research and development in Qatar commencing with an interview with Faisal al-Suwaidi, president of research and development at Qatar Foundation of Education, Science and Community Development (QF).
The subject is of high priority for Shell as the company and its partners work hard to attract, develop and train a strong Qatari workforce.

We take into account the total number of members affected by a disease and the potential impact to all the scheme members.
Our dedicated and experienced consultants help members with many aspects of their cancer treatment. They offer support services and access to reliable information on cancer, and what steps a patient can take to fight and manage the disease.
Discovery Health consults with the South African Oncology Consortium Utilisation Review Committee (SAOC-URC) to review specific cancer cases. This case review process ensures that our oncology members receive the most appropriate treatment, based on the clinical information given.
The South African Oncology Consortium (SAOC) develops treatment guidelines according to research findings and clinical evidence of cancer medicines and treatments. All treatment guidelines include a unique set of treatment codes that the cancer specialist (oncologist) can prescribe.
Their treatment guidelines are divided into three levels or tiers, namely:Discovery Health's Oncology Benefit is structured according to these treatment tiers.
The South African Oncology Consortium is a managed care organisation that represents the majority of oncologists (cancer specialists) in the private and public healthcare sectors in South Africa. Specialists from all disciplines in oncology, including radiation oncology, medical and clinical oncology, haematology and paediatricians are members of the consortium.
The South African Oncology Consortium aims to co-ordinate the way cancer treatment is prescribed through specific treatment guidelines or rules. The treatment guidelines are classified into specific 'levels' or 'tiers' according to the Prescribed Minimum Benefits, standard treatments and new treatments. The classification is done in line with international standards to accommodate the cost of treatment with members' oncology benefits. The consortium also acts as a peer-to-peer review body, and ensures that quality care is delivered on a long-term basis.
As soon as you are diagnosed with cancer, please make sure you contact the DiscoveryCare oncology team on 0860 99 88 77 to make sure you can be registered onto the Oncology Programme. We will require a copy of your histology or pathology to register you.
If your oncologist charges you a rate higher than the Discovery Health rate, you may be charged an amount from your pocket for professional services such as consultations. Please discuss this with your oncologist to understand how this will impact you.
The Oncology Benefit provides members cover for approved cancer treatment. To offer members a flexible range of options to fund their cancer treatment, we have structured the benefit to include the following:
1. A specific rand amount for all your approved cancer related treatment. This rand amount will be allocated on a 12-month benefit cycle and differs on each plan. This benefit does not apply to KeyCare Plans.
2. The rand amount covers the chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other treatment prescribed by your cancer specialist .This also includes pathology, radiology, medicine and other cancer-related treatment that is provided by healthcare professionals other than your cancer specialist.
3. Above this amount you will continue to be covered for all approved cancer treatment, but you will be responsible to pay 20% of the costs from your pocket. This does not apply to treatment under the Prescribed Minimum Benefits.
4. Full cover for treatment plans that fall within the definition and guidelines of the Prescribed Minimum Benefits.
5. Access to donor searches for bone marrow transplants, which are funded according to your plan type, clinical protocols and subject to the use of designated Centres of Excellence.
6. Access to PET CT scans, which is subject to benefit confirmation and clinical entry criteria. We cover approved PET CT scans in full at our preferred providers. You will be responsible to pay R2 750 for each scan done at a provider who is not on our preferred provider list. Approved scans will add up to your 12-month rand amount. This benefit does not apply to KeyCare Plans.
Specific rand amount for your cancer treatment provides you with more choicePrescribed Minimum Benefit is a set of minimum benefits which, by law, must be provided to all medical scheme members. It includes the provision of diagnosis, treatment and care costs of defined set of conditions. Medical schemes have to pay these minimum treatments in full from the risk benefits.
Schemes, on their part, are encouraged to define Designated Service Provider (DSP) networks, apply evidence-based protocols and develop formularies or medicine lists to manage PMBs.
Your condition may be classified as a Prescribed Minimum Benefit condition, however only certain treatment protocols are available for funding from the PMB risk benefit.
Only when a member chooses to receive treatment outside of the designated service provider, protocols and formularies, does the scheme have the right to apply co-payments.
Please ensure you confirm benefits for all your cancer treatment, whether in- or out-of-hospital, with us.
We will pay the claims as a Prescribed Minimum Benefit if it has a valid ICD-10 code.

true, I forgot about the gigantic cache. 8MB each of L3.
Basically, you're saying what everybody already knows - steve jobs is an arrogant prick. You are totally right about that, but their products are good enough IMO that I can disregard steves arrogance. Plus, he kind of has a right to be arrogant he turned apple from a lost and struggling computer company to the biggest consumer hardware company in the US.

Until Ubuntu 9.04 I never ran the standard window manager (and Ubuntu's is only tolerable after significant tweaking). However I am way too hands on and willing to hack on stuff to be in Apple's target market. There's been plenty of stuff make for people like me and they usuall fail in the market. So its no surprise Apple's not designing for me.

Today I was with a group of students making a presentation to Siemens. They had emailed the PowerPoint two days ago, but they made a few last minute editorial changes and they wanted to upload a new version. They then take out a thumb drive and stick it into a Siemens laptop to run the presentation. My jaw dropped. Wasn't Siemens implicated in the proliferation of Stuxnet? You'd think that there would now be a corporate-wide policy against any unknown USB drive ever contacting one of their computers.

(1) What is the required platform for your school? If it ain't Apple you are SOL. If it is, then you have a valid complaint.
(2) Is the software available to run in Free BSD? If so, then you are OK. Your Apple OS is actually a slick GUI on top of an open source operating system and you should be able to make it work with a bit of tweaking. Steve Jobs has made a well paying career from stealing good stuff that other people developed. Google "Xerox Parc" and you can figure this out on your own.

So what's the goto config for a media server? I'm getting a bona fide workstation to replace my clapped out desktop that's weaker than my laptop. The 'boss' said keep the desktop so I'm going to slap in some drives and set it up to hold music, video, etc. It's loaded with Win7 Pro right now. Just take it out of my work domain, remove all the vpn and security software, clean out the work data, load up the media and let it rip, or is there a better way? Help me 33 nerds, you are my only hope.
+ a couple dozen. They are beyond smug.
My girlfriend, who is in Australia right now, asked me to look up the price of the 2.66 ghz 15" Macbook something or other (she kept getting redirected to the Aussie site). Looks like 2100-2300...I think that's a little pricey, myself.
Not exactly what you're looking for, I don't think, but take a look at this anyways - it's a nice little project.

I was having DNS problems with BF sometimes, so I posted a thread in the help section of this website.
Turns out you can configure to a public DNS server instead of using your ISP automatically. I configured to Google's DNS servers, and everything is much faster now. Google pages (calender, mail) are ridiculously fast.
Definitely worth trying out. It's under TCP/IP settings for your particular connection (wireless/wired, etc). Google is 184.108.40.206 and 22.214.171.124.
Google tracks me enough as it is. I don't need them to know every freakin' IP address I need to resolve.

It depends on what OSs you run at home and your level of technical sophistication. If you largely use Windows boxes, then Windows Home Server can't be beat, although I'd wait for Vail to come out before buying an OEM license for it.
If it's Linux and OS X at home, a nice FreeBSD or Solaris box with ZFS and RAID10 would be my choice.

GK Chesterton and "The Maniac"
Every one who has had the misfortune to talk with people in the heart or on the edge of mental disorder, knows that their most sinister quality is a horrible clarity of detail; a connecting of one thing with another in a map more elaborate than a maze. If you argue with a madman, it is extremely probable that you will get the worst of it; for in many ways his mind moves all the quicker for not being delayed by the things that go with good judgment. He is not hampered by a sense of humour or by charity, or by the dumb certainties of experience. He is the more logical for losing certain sane affections. Indeed, the common phrase for insanity is in this respect a misleading one. The madman is not the man who has lost his reason. The madman is the man who has lost everything except his reason.
GK Chesterton, Orthodoxy

Albany Marathon draws crowd
I had a great time today and I really appreciate all the volunteers and residents who formed cheering squads along the way. This is a great event and something the City of Albany should be proud of. As a guest from Florida who brought my family to your fair town for the weekend - I thank and salute you. PS - Jimmie's hot dogs - wow - what a way to end a race! :-) Awesome.
